Network Expect is a framework that allows to easily build tools
that can interact with network traffic. Following a script, traffic
can be injected into the network, and decisions can be taken, and
acted upon, based on received network traffic. An interpreted language
(Tcl) provides branching and high-level control structures to direct the
interaction with the network.
.
Network Expect was heavily influenced and inspired on the Expect program
written by Don Libes, which allows to "talk" to interactive programs in
a scripted fashion.
.
The type of things that Network Expect can do are usually very low level
network operations, which usually require writing a custom application
in a language like C.
.
Some of the things that Network Expect can do include:
.
* Generate arbitrary network traffic and inject it into a network at layer
2 or layer 3.
.
* A wide range of protocols is supported, including 802.1q, ARP,
Cisco VTP and DTP, GRE, IPv4, IPv6, ICMP, UDP, TCP (including
options), etc.
.
This Network Expect functionality is very similar to the
functionality provided by several packet crafting and forging open
source tools like Nemesis, Packit, hping, Scapy, and others.
.
* Listen for network traffic and take decisions based on the type of
traffic received.
.
* Open a sniffer trace in PCAP format and replay it after changing some
values in the original packet capture.
.
* Emulate network protocols to see how they interact with other
speakers of that protocol. For example, emulating a TCP server to
investigate approaches to randomization of TCP Initial Sequence Numbers
(ISN) can be easily done in Network Expect.
